With lawsuits pending, Trump’s business empire could not withstand the close scrutiny of a presidential campaign, and even his kids might have been muddied.

Two associates who served prison time on cocaine charges

Another partner prosecuted for trafficking underage girls after a dramatic helicopter raid on a yacht off the Turkish coast

A pending lawsuit against Trump Soho that alleges daughter Ivanka, among others, made fraudulent misrepresentations
